Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Julian Sturdy and James Heappey

Monday 1st February 2021 Commons Chamber

[Julian Sturdy (York Outer) (Con) [V]]

What steps have been taken to ensure that servicemen and women who are doing a fantastic job assisting with vaccine deployment across the country receive the support that they would expect if stationed at barracks?

[James Heappey]

I can confirm that that is very much the requirement, and we would fully expect all those whom we send out to support local authorities to be properly catered for. There have been one or two instances —one was reported to me by my hon. Friend—in which the service has fallen short. That is not good enough; we are investigating.
